Man Shot To Death In Lawrenceville Was Father-To-Be

Channel 11 News has learned a 34-year-old man who was killed after being shot in Lawrenceville early Thursday morning was a father-to-be.

Police said Sean Thompson was shot along Keystone Street shortly after 1 a.m. He was taken to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital, where he later died.

Channel 11 News learned Thompson’s fiancee lives in the neighborhood and is pregnant with the couple’s first child.

“It’s sad. No one deserves this,” one neighbor said.

Nearby residents said they heard the shots fired and ran outside to see what happened.

"I've never been around violence like this before," one neighbor said. "Maybe 12 to 16 shots were fired. We came outside and the guy was lying on the ground. He was still bleeding."

Thompson was an employee at a car dealership on McKnight Road. His co-workers said he was a good man and a hard worker.

Police are searching for a white sport utility vehicle with dark, tinted windows. They said the driver was a man wearing a fedora.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Pittsburgh police.
